I haven't received a single thing in the mail from any of these campaigners.
I just wish I could get the likes of Capitol One and Discover to quit sending me credit card offers in the mail.
Ok ..here is what WORKS.. and it does take a little work but it is FUN.
Those " pre-approved" CC's and those affinity checks are very dangerous pieces of mail since they are prime targets for thieves who can steal them from you mailbox and use them. They should be outlawed but so far...
Here is what I have done.
Start off by just saving all you junk mail and then stuff it ALL, to the brim, along with the torn up application/checks into the POSTAGE PAID envelope and send it all back. They have to pay the postage AND , best of all, it clogs up their system. Do this every time.. The will know who you are since the envelope is barcoded to you..you WANT them to know who sent the pac-o-crap.
NEXT: and this is where a little work is needed. Go pick up a BRICK..plain ordinary BRICK and wrap it in butcher paper, all nice and pretty like a present. Use the POSTAGE PAID envelop front as a mailing sticker and mail the damn thing to them. The WILL be charged for a nice pretty penny and it WILL get their attention.
I've had ALL of the CC pukes call me and complain. BUT they will do their best to take you off the list.
If a few million of us do this we all win.
